So the little lady & I just got back from our weekend trip to the Wellsboro area with our friends. I had purchased a trailer hitch, a cooler rack & a TBag for the rack. We decided to try it this weekend so that we would know if there were any changes to be made or issues to deal with. I am happy to report that all worked well & we'll be set for the big trip. I want to post some pics of it when I get a chance but right now everthing is dirty & wet. We had to ride in the rain yesterday & a bit today. Once I get things cleaned up I'll take a few shots for you guys to check out.

Thank you Fossil for thinking of us. The last thing we would want to see is a "dirty" Wing.. If I wanted to see that I would go out to my own garage....LOL... Glad you had a good time, sorry you got wet.. Ride safe my friend..

You already know my opinion about the seat......yes, that seat !.....that plush, posture-perfect, pavement padding, easy chair of a seat. The hitch is nice too. Looks good from all angles. This is a great trip you are taking us on foss.

Ron, Paperwork says 35lbs for the rack assembly. Haven't talked to you in a while hope everything is well. I think this setup is going to work just fine for our trip. Ride safe.

Looks good Bill, nice and sleek, won't interfere with tail lights, one question what about your license plate? I know the Illinois state police would'nt like it concealed.(you've probably already thought of that)

Yeah Matt, I have, not sure yet what I'm doing there. I may just go & if I get stopped deal with it then. If you look at the backside pic, I took it close to the ground. You actually can see the plate a bit when sitting in a vehicle. Thanks for your input though. I need someone watching out for me.:D:D:D

Thanks for the kind words Smutley.
